Can we know what your are intending to do?

kev['Name'].append(person_name)

kev['Name'] will result in a string object  and this doesn't have a 
method append. You should rather try the following to append the 
person_name to kev['Name']

kev['Name'] = kev['Name']+person_name

But as far as dictionary is considered, key is unique and you can not 
have same key twice.
